Lavie Awarded Sloan Fellowship
Dovev Lavie, assistant professor of management, received a Sloan Industry Studies Fellowship by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the foundation announced Feb. 19.
The fellowship is given to scholars that show exceptional promise in the early stages of their careers to contribute to the advancement of knowledge, as well as to U.S. industrial development and economic competitiveness. Each fellow receives a grant of $45,000 for a two-year period, administered by his or her institution.
Similar to the prestigious Sloan Research Fellowships, the Industry Studies Fellowships provide support and recognition to junior faculty from a variety of academic disciplines – economics, management, engineering, political science, and related or interdisciplinary areas. To carry out their research, all Industry Studies Fellows have developed strong partnerships with people in their chosen industries. Candidates for Industry Studies Fellowships are nominated and recommended by their department chairs and other senior scholars and executives from throughout the United States and Canada who are familiar with their talents and promise.
